Legione imperiale russa

The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is a nationalist group based in Russia that seeks to create a mono-ethnic state led by a Russian autocratic monarchy. The group is best known for having members and sympathizers linked to violent activity abroad and seeks to build ties to neo-Nazi organizations in Europe and the United States to offer them paramilitary training and bomb making instructions. In 2015, RIM co-founded the World National Conservative Movement (WNCM), a transnational movement ideologically aligned against the Western principles of ‘liberalism, multiculturalism and tolerance’ according to its own manifesto. RIM leaders intended the WNCM to facilitate the sharing of tactical skills across peer organizations and promote their own paramilitary training program. Furthermore, RIM has donated money to foreign neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups associated with the WNCM and provided training to members who have carried out bomb plots in their own countries. In 2016, RIM provided training to two Swedes who then bombed a bookstore-café, a refugee shelter, and a campground that housed asylum seekers. RIM’s paramilitary faction has also been present in conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Libya.

The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is a white-supremacist group founded by Stanislav Vorobyov in 2002. The group promotes ethnic Russian nationalism and seeks to fuel white supremacy extremism in the West. It provides paramilitary training to Russian nationals and to members of like-minded organisations from other countries. Its armed wing, the Imperial Legion, is actively fighting on behalf of the Russian armed forces in Russia’s war against Ukraine. On its official webpage, the Movement identifies ‘fighting in Ukraine against the Uniates and Pagans, who are the backbone of the Ukrainian armed forces’ as one of its main endeavours.
